After driving the 2015 Nissan JUKE SL AWD for a week I have come away impressed. Unlike the vast majority of CUV’s in the market the JUKE is fun to drive and nice to look at. Almost every review I have read about the JUKE uses the word...

Quick Drive: 2015 Nissan Micra S
By Kevin Harrison
I've been fortunate enough to travel to all sorts of different countries. When I travel, I find it best to steer clear of resorts and really get into the weeds of the culture. While doing so you get to experience of what every day life is for people...

Test Drive: 2015 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagon TDI
By Kevin Harrison
At a recent party, I was speaking with a young woman who knew nothing about cars. This is both exciting and frustrating for automotive journalists because it means we get to talk about our vice, but it also means you have to explain every basic detail such as...

By Kevin Harrison
A few years ago I sat in the new Audi S3 at the Canadian International Auto Show and instantly knew it was something special.

Test Drive: 2015 Ford Mustang V6 Fastback
By Kevin Harrison
When Ford introduced the sixth generation Mustang last year, muscle car enthusiasts of every stripe were prepared to march into Ford's corporate headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan with pitchforks.
The angry mob wasn't upset about an unfavourable design change or a the introduction of a pink colour scheme, rather it...

Test Drive: 2015 Buick LaCrosse AWD
By Kevin Harrison
GM has been trying with all its might to position its Buick brand as something that is appealing to people under the age of 70. From its "that's a Buick?!" ads that claim Buick has changed so much its unrecognizable, to its product. Not to sound too much like...
